    We come in peace or shoot to kill.

    So Komrade Korbyn thinks it's wrong to shoot to kill.

    Has he been watching "The Lone Ranger" too much?

    Meanwhile Jarvis is saying all the right things to replace his as a relative moderate
    Socialism is inseparably interwoven with totalitarianism and the abject worship of the state.

    No Socialist Government conducting the entire life and industry of the country could afford to allow free, sharp, or violently-worded expressions of public discontent.

      Armed police shoot to prevent the target endangering anyone else. That means usually shooting to kill. Why would the SAS be any different? Using guns is using deadly force. It's always "shoot to kill". How is "shoot to kill" a new policy?

        I'm no fan of Jezzbollah, but I couldn't help thinking he meant something different. Like shooting Brazillians on trains

        even if he did mean that though, his timing and his message stinks

          Sounds like they've taken him out of context to me.

          I would interpret his comment to say that if there's a terror attack, police shouldn't go in and mow everyone down with gunfire at the slightest provocation just because it's a terror attack.

          But everything he says gets taken out of context and torn apart so I am not surprised.

              Maybe, a very gung-ho attitude by armed police would be dangerous to us all, but if that is what he meant you would think, as a major party leader, he could make his position clear. Saw him on TV and he just said quite simply that he wasn't in favour of a shoot to kill policy.

              Similarly with his comments about it being a shame that "Jihadi John" was not brought to justice. Did he just mean "it was a pity but" ? or was he seriously suggesting that Western troops should have been put at enormous risk to arrest him? Someone who cannot be clearer about what he means is not fit to be a political leader.

                  Successful politicians need to lie much more convincingly!
